Do you find yourself revealing information that's TOO personal on MyLot ?

Hello ,cerium . I meant by controversial my own interpretations of Islam ,for example . That should concern only me ,but in our countries that is not the case .Any non-traditional opinion can be easily twisted to appear subversive ,and that is a dangerous thing to let people know about you . This is in responce to how you do not consider revealing some opinions "saying too much" .Why dont you ever answer any topics with personal implications ? Isnt that what is fun about internet chatting and forums ? The frankness and openness provided by anonymity ?

I know exactly what you mean. However, I think the internet is a safer place to say your opinions freely. As for the interpretations of Islam, non-traditionalists had their voices heard recently in many incidents. I don't consider my interpretations as "my own" as they are common with many other people. It' nothing new invented but relying more on God's words than on traditional scholar's opinions. It was even a debated since the days of Averros (Ibn RushD) and Al Ghazaly. As for the personal subjects, I only don't discuss what I consider too personal. I don't like chatting that much. I just like having a discussion with a group of people on certain subjects. It's really useful to listen to different opinions.

Hello ,serenae ! thank you for replying ! One does frequently get carried away ,that's one more reason why MyLot should include an 'edit post' feature !

Excellent reply . Nothing to hide , nothing to be afrad of ! But there are other , more subtle ways (other than incrimination) revealed information can come back to haunt you ,like information about friends or family . In some of the posts written here , real life events are sometimes told where other people's actions are mentioned as well as opinions of different people .Do you think it's better to avoid discussions based on personal experience alltogether ?
